Red butt and rubber eggs?

[MysteryChicken]

Do you what she she should be feeding twice daily? I am pretty sure that holding off treats and fruit is important to. Only her feed that she gets twice daily, she needs to loose weight.

A low protein feed, fed only once, or twice a day. Lots of roaming space also.

I've seen this method, before, but never had Cornish X to try it on. I think someone who breeds them may know more then you, & I though.

I'm trying to think of who to tag,
@ImAnoob are you willing to provide this care for these birds? Low protein, fed once a day, with lots of area to free range? If not, you may want to look into harvesting them, or someone who can harvest them for you.

For meat birds to survive, you NEED to limit food. No treats, and feed them according amounts twice daily. They probably have raw butts because there legs are failing them and sitting on the ground all the time.
Meat birds don't live long as pets, you can do you best, but they usually only live 2 years, sometimes more but depends on the care.
I'm not experienced here, but hopefully others can help to.

Well, I have to say hearing that they won’t live long makes me very sad indeed. I love my Cankles and her “large and in charge-ness” is a part of her charm! I only give them fruit once or twice a week, but I DO just leave the food in the dispenser out there. So you guys are saying just to feed them in a dish 2x per day?

Yes, once or twice a day in the only the specific amount she needs.
Normally, with ordinary breeds you can just leave the food out and they wont over eat. Meat birds are bred to eat a lot, and over eat so they get plump for harvest.
If you offer her only the amount she needs, she will get the proper amount of food, and not over eat. Some birds live longer ten 2 years, but it really depends on the bird, and how well you care for it.

Maybe add to you title, "EDIT: I have a meat bird, care ideas?" that will attract people who know how to care for them, and they can give you more tips.

Not free range, but have a very roomy covered run/yard space they can safely be without being targeted by hawks.
